WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury due to a disabled front passenger airbag
If the front passenger airbag is disabled, the front passenger airbag will not be deployed in the event of an acci‐
dent and cannot perform its intended protective function.
A person in the front passenger seat could then, for example, come into contact with the vehicle's interior,
especially if the person is sitting too close to the cockpit.
#
Make sure, both before and during the journey, that the status of the front passenger airbag is correct.
#
Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible, paying attention to road and traffic conditions.
#
Check the status of the automatic front passenger air bag shutoff .
#
If necessary, consult a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
